Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 49-6 (June 2008) . - p.618–625 Titre : Maternal separation anxiety as a regulator of infants’ sleep Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anat SCHER, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.618–625 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Separation-anxiety nightime-parenting sleep fussiness infants Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: The regulation of infants’ sleep is determined not only by biological factors but by relational aspects too. This study focused on maternal separation anxiety and examined its association with sleep–wake regulation at 10 months of age. Method: In a community sample comprising 52 infants and their mothers, sleep was measured objectively with an activity monitor, as well as through questionnaires. The mothers reported on their own separation anxiety and on the child's perceived distress. Results: The main finding was that maternal seperation anxiety was linked to settling to sleep routines and to night-waking. The contribution of the mothers’ own sepration anxiety to their infants’ night-waking remained significant after controlling for the child's fussiness. Conclusions: Consistent with the transactional perspective, the current research documented an interplay between maternal separation anxiety and aspects of the child's sleep–wake transitions.

Relationship between Sleep and Temperament Revisited: Evidence for 12-month-olds: A Research Note / Anat SCHER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 39-5 (July 1998)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 39-5 (July 1998) . - p.785-788 Titre : Relationship between Sleep and Temperament Revisited: Evidence for 12-month-olds: A Research Note Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anat SCHER, Auteur ; Emanuel TIROSH, Auteur ; Peretz LAVIE, Auteur Année de publication : 1998 Article en page(s) : p.785-788 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Infancy  temperament  sleep Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study measured the sleep attributes of 30 normal 12-month-old children with a computerized movement detector (Actigraph). Data on the child's temperament was based on the Carey Toddler Temperament Questionnaire, which the mother completed. The main finding was that rhythmic children went to sleep earlier and had longer sleep duration; however, their sleep pattern was not more efficient compared to children with irregular rhythmicity. The results of the present study provide only limited evidence to the association between the regulation of sleep-wake cycles and the temperamental characteristics of the child. Hence it may be concluded that within non-referred low-risk infants, temperament does not discriminate between good and poor sleepers. Alternatively, however, the marginal relationship between sleep and temperament demonstrated in the present study may reflect the limitation of maternal perception as a source for temperament assessment.
